Need a good defragmenter

I decided to defrag all my HDs and Diskeeper says my D drive is heavily defragmented. well i defraged it about 5 times and it still has lots of fragments(58% Volume, 82% Data). are there any good defragmenters you guys can recommend me to? also my D drive seems sluggish also, and Diskeeper says theres a possible 92% improvement in performance.

Thanks man ill try that out. I was sitting on the toilet and reading a PC mag and saw the Diskeeper ad so i thought id try it. Its pretty quick and works on the other HD but isnt doing shit for my D drive.(btw, it wont let me use the Windows defragmenter; Diskeeper took over so i have to unistall that.)

What kind of files are you storing on the drive? Some files are just flat-out fragment prone. I had a folder I pulled off a DVD that always showed up as having massive fragments no matter how many times/what I used. Got rid of the file, frags gone. Take a look at the files - you might not be able to defrag em.

I have Windows XP SP2; all my HDs are NTFS format. the D drive that is fragmented has nothing but music and movies(some DVD rips); using ~77gigs of 120gigs. Also the disc is compressed, will this cause more fragmented files?

I tried to defrag it with the Windows defragmenter by unistalling Diskeeper. Im about to try Norton speed disk and see if itll fix it. Thanks for the suggestions.

*btw, where can i get Norton Speed Disk? If it doesnt work, i guess ill transfer the data or delete them...

Yes, in general compression will cause more fragments. Movies and music are also high on the list for fragmentation. As I said, I had a folder I pulled off a DVD (movie files) and it wouldn't defragment no matter what.

I've used both Diskeeper and Speed Disk, and if Diskeeper won't defrag it then it can't be defragged.
